Deal of the Day by Webyshops: VORTEX Viper PST 6-24×50 Riflescope

Specifically designed for the military, law enforcement and committed precision shooting communities, theVORTEX Viper PST 6-24×50 Riflescope, EBR-1 MRAD Reticle (PST-624S1-M) offers the highest levels of performance and reliability. With features such as matched turret/reticle subtensions, CRS zero stop mechanisms and precision ranging reticles, the Viper PST is ready for any situation.

The Viper PST (Precision Shooting Tactical) is built on a precision-machined, one-piece aircraft-grade aluminum tube protected by a type-3 hard-anodized finish. The large diameter 30mm tube provides additional strength and rigidity, as well as extra room for extreme range elevation adjustments. The construction is 100% waterproof, dustproof and fogproof – purged with argon gas to prevent internal fogging and corrosion.

This model riflescope uses a second focal plane reticle. This style of reticle always maintains the identical visual size regardless of magnification. The advantage to this style of reticle is that it will not become too large and “heavy” at high magnifications.

The Viper PST riflescope uses a side focus parallax adjustment which, when properly set, eliminates parallax errors. Parallax is a phenomenon that results when the target image does not quite fall on the same optical plane as the reticle within the scope. When the shooter’s eye is not precisely centered in the eyepiece, there can be apparent movement of the target in relation to the reticle, which can cause a small shift in the point of aim. Parallax error is most problematic for precision shooters using high magnification.
